MAORI LANDS.
AND HOSPITAL RATES. By Telegraph—Piess Association. HAMILTON, August 26. The problem of unpaid Native rates, and the consequent heavy burden on Hospital Boards, in Maori districts, was discussed at a conference of delegates of fourteen Hospital Boards, at Hamilton to-day. The following resolution was passed: “That, seeing the welfare of the Maoris is a Dominion affair, the Government be urged to pay to those Hospital Boards which give treatment to Maoris from whom only small payments obtain, the difference between the percentage of fees collected from Maoris and the percentage collected from Europeans in each district.” A deputation was appointed to co-oper-ate with the executive of the Hospital Boards’ Association, which will wait on the Premier and the Minister of Health.
